Pretty good authority states that 9
lstter was sent from this city to a prom.
inent gentleman iu San Diego few
days ago, containing the wonderful
statement that the excursion advertised
for to-day would not be as large as
expected, owing 10 the fact that at
least ten thousand people had left Los
Angeles on account of the smallpox
sears. On what slender material can
the average liar manufacture his vii.

One very funny custom of the theatres
here. is their manner of keeping their re-
served seat diagram, the seats being
marked upon it by small holes, in which
are placed wooden pegs. When you buy
a reserved seat the ticket seller removes
the peg from the hole you have selected
and gives it to you as your check. The
ushers know the seat it d%csignates by the
length or color Of the peg. As soon a.
the act drop falls every gentleman putt
on his hat. rises in his seat, and turn,
about to take n view of the house through
his lorgnette. They subsequently pass
into the aisles to greet their friends, and
remain there talking until the prompter,
bell warns them that another act Is nlOut
to begin. Then they hurry to their
places and remove their hats. The APP
pearance of Il Mexican theatre betwcen
the acts-its aislcs crowded with group
of men talking and ~gesticulating wildly
would cause an unsophisticated American
to think that free fights were in progress
all over tho house. Very few ladies
wear hats or bonncts in the street, sub
stituting black lace mantillas instead,
and even these are dispensed with at the
theatrcs-the hair being deliberately
dressed and AS the majority Of he gen.
tlemen are in full evening dress, the APP
pearance of u Mexican audience il very
brilliant. Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Arab looks very well on horseback,
though he might not altogether suit the
taste of the shires. His saddle is generally
red. packed before and behind, and
placed upon several colored felt saddle
cloths; the stirrup broadens out 30 as to
give IA wide space for the foot to rest on
it is pointed at the corners, thereby en-
abling the rider to tear the horses ribs,
even without the aid of u pointed stick or
II steel spear-like spur which he often
pushes between his slipper and the stirrup
side. The Arab soldier, with his white
burnous fiuttcring behind him, his high
red saddle and saddle cloths, his knees
high and body bent forward, with his
long silver mounted gun flourishing in
the air. looks, AS he gallops forward in a
cloud of dust, the very embodiment of
the picturesque. exultamt war spirit of
past ages, not sobered down by scientific
formulas for murder, but free to carry
out his own bloodthirsty purposes with
as much swagger and ostentation as pos
sible. As n hurseman, | believe the Arab
to nave an excellent seat. but an execrable
hand. he loves to keep his beast b head
high in the air, and so he carelessly jog
glc> at the bit, upon which he always
rides. until one wonders how the wretched
brute can put his feet safely down; yet he
does. somehow .-Cornhill Magazine.

In aschool Of a hundred boy. at lra.,
ninety are usually so well disposed In.
they give little wearing trouble TO D
faithful and intelligent teacher. The ii,-
trc-S and exhaustion are caused by lie
remaining ten, some Of whom are stupid
others careless, others merely ncrvouiand
restless and, perhaps. two Or three really
depraved.
The art Of governing a school consists
chiefly in knowing what to do with the
lower ten. II it is just that part of the
art which is least capable Of being com
mumicatcd. Every boy is u new case.
requiring special study and peculiar treat
meni. Yet it is the ninety good boys
who can most readily influence the
others. Not long ago our or five of the
lower ten were engaged in the mean sport
Of making fun Of a poor old woman who
lost her mind many years ago by the sud-
den loss II her children. She was a
harmless. good creature, who went about
chattering words without meaning. and
these thoughtless, cruel boys were pulling
her dress and laughing at her.
One of the upper ninety came along.
He did nothing violent. nor did he indulge
in Indignant speech. He merely said:
Fellows. it is mean to treat this old
woman SO" That was all, and it was
enough. They desisted, and the poor
woman went her way in peace.
When the ninety act in that manner
throughout, tho ten will not kill their
teachers, and they themselves will prob
ably escape hanging. The worst boy
dare not ace the public opinion of his
school. if it Is expressed 50 that he knows
what it is. Youths Companion.

\ SCHEME WHICH DESERVES


1t cannot but strike the candid man
with amazement that the proposition of
the protectionist Democrats should re
ceive even a respectful hearing. 1t is
altogether monstrous and unreasonable.
If there il any principle OF taxation which
is that Injuries should be made to CON
tribute most to the general revenue fund.
IL is on this principle that we collect a
custom duty on diamonds. By no amount
of protection, We imagine, can the
diamond digging industry be developed in
the United States. The tax which is
properly placed upon the article rests
upon the sound assumption that people
who can afford to buy diamonds for per.
sonal ornaments, can afford to pay a tax
upon them in aid of the government.
Tobacco and liquors are, almost wholly,
Injuries They are admirable objects OF
taxation. The taxes upon them have
been pared down at every opportunity.
while those upon all the nccessaries of life
are maintained undiminishcd More
over the repeal OF those taxes would be,
almost entirely, Il clear gift to the manu-.
fauturer and dealer. Whenever in the
past. there has been a decrease of internal
revenue taxation, it has affected not ai all
or only IN the slightest degree, the retail
price OF tobacco or spirits What the
Randall faction propose is really to dis
pose Of the surplus revenue by distribut
ing it among those engaged IN the manu-
facture and sale of tobacco aud intoXicants.
Compared with this, even the lavish
prodigaliiy of the Blair educational bill or
the monumental folly of distributing the
eurplus among the states shines out as
statesinanship OF course there Is but
one purpose in this MIR. Randall and
those who are naiy to follow him care
nothing for an equitable assessment of
public burdens, They are no; particularly
Interested in the tobacco OF whisky trade.
All they are in search of il some effective
method of making impossible that reduc-
tium of tariff duties which is demanded in
the Interest of the people And for this
they are ready to ro to any extremity.
The whole fight NOW 10 be made IN con-
grens. a far as the question of revenue is
concerned. is TO prevent the consumma
ton Of this wrong II u 10 keep the sur
plus from the out-irctched hands of
